UA Women clinch Two

[Oldtimer]

UA Women clinched #1 Tournament seed & tonight clinched regular season America East championship with 55-46 win over New Hampshire. Down by 12 at half-time, outscored UNH 37 -16 in second half. Congrats to women and Coach Abe--

If you haven't seen them play show up on March 2nd for Senior Day. You won't be disappointed.

They kept New Hampshire scoreless for almost nine minutes in the second half, held on in spite of missing at least seven foul shots in the last five minutes. 20 points for Craig, 10 and 9 for Shereesha. But they shot only 14-26 free throws.

The first regular season title in UA women's basketball D1 history. Done in dominating fashion!

Coach Abe can not be "too" happy about this game [other then the results of course]. 14-26 from line; 1 for 8 from three; and down 12 @ half to a bottom dweller {I would have loved to hear her half time speech}. Anyhow congratulations ladies; let's finish off perfect--beat brook saturday and three in the tournament.

Great win today. Good to see that basketball will still be played at SEFCU next weekend. Hope the guys, with some help from UMBC, can make it a doubleheader. How many conference games have the women won in a row?

[UAalum72]

Including conference tournaments, I count 27 since losing to Hartford on Jan. 28, 2012

 

The T-U helpfully pointed out that the last three teams to go unbeaten through the league season (Hartford in 2009-10, Boston University in 2008-09 and Maine in 2002-03) did not win the championship.
